Crash Course Study Skills

Ten lessons on how to study

This playlist is a run of ten short lessons covering the habits that shape a student's term: note-taking, reading assignments, memory, planning, focus, procrastination, exam preparation, test anxiety, writing papers and essays, and exercise.

Who it suits

Students who want practical routines rather than theory will find the topics easy to map onto their own week. Each lesson tackles one problem, so you can go straight to the area that feels weakest, such as test anxiety or procrastination, without watching the rest first.

What to take away

• Note-taking and reading are treated as separate skills, each with its own fixes.
• Memory, focus and planning sit alongside exam and writing advice.
• Exercise closes the series, which is an unusual choice for a study guide.

Read the lesson titles as a checklist. If most of them describe a struggle you are having right now, the series is a sensible place to begin.
